These data suggest that use of antibiotic prophylaxis in similar settings may need to be re-evaluated to minimize unnecessary antibiotic use

    In multiprovider settings, predictors of dentist clinical productivity differ for sites with and without residency training programs. Although the assistant-to-dentist ratio is the most explanatory for each type of setting, other variables such as the resident-to-dentist ratio, use of technology, and connectedness/engagement with the medical center are uniquely significant to the two types of service sites and should also be considered to maximiz…

  • Research Issues Related to the Oral Health Status of Aging Veterans

    GRETCHEN GIBSON, LINDA C NIESSENARTICLEMedical Care1995

    This article reviews the research on the oral health status of aging veterans and offers recommendations for a research agenda that will improve their oral health and quality of life. Uniform definitions, or a "composite" measure, of overall oral health status would facilitate oral health status measurement. Because such a measure is not available, traditional oral epidemiologic indexes or treatment-needs data have been used to identify oral heal…
